5 The Long Tail 5

6 Wikinomics 6 Wikinomics: Openess Peering Sharing Acting Globally

7 The Future Internet Billions of people, trillions of devices, billions of information sources connected anywhere and anytime Challenges and opportunities Internet is expanding from an information service to a critical infrastructure for all aspects of society Research aspect: Current technologies need to be improved significantly to meet the challenges of tomorrow 7

8 ICT potential for Sustainable development at regional level to decouple economic growth and environmental degradation to move towards a cleaner, safer and healthier environment to reduce environmental risk on society to improve efficiency in the use of raw materials / natural resources to improve energy efficiency 8

9 Background Decision Support and Mapping Regional Decision makers do not have always up-to-date information Nonexistent Information Information Overflow Quality of Information Have to become Proactive with a Vision 9

10 Broadband Atlas (BAT) Our idea is to combine a Top-Down approach with an Bottom-up approach BAT can become a sort of Wikipedia of Broadband in European Regions Official Data merged with User contributed data (for instance up/down speed measurements) 10

11 Mapping Interface Prototypes 11
